On July 1, 2019, Taiwan once again introduced key legislation to help protect the
environment. This was the day that the first stage of the country’s ban on plastic straws went into
effect. The aim of the law was to 11 the number of straws from the current level—3 billion
per year—to a much more environmentally friendly figure. The ultimate goal will be to eliminate
their use completely.
The first stage targeted about 8,000 businesses 12 the on-site sale of beverages:
fast-food restaurants, shopping malls, coffee shops, and the like. 13 , institutions such as
schools and government offices were also included. The initial focus, then, was on controlling the
use of plastic straws at indoor facilities. Take-out drinks and delivery services were not affected.
Businesses caught breaking the law received a warning for the first offense, but guilty parties
received fines of up to NT$6,000 for a second offense.
Taiwan’s EPA admitted that these measures were 14 enough to make a significant
difference to the country’s overuse of plastics, but a first step only. Due to the local population’s
love of take-away iced drinks, it seemed 15 no adequate solution could be found. However,
the new law is likely to be extended to include take-away beverages sometime in the near future.

Almost everyone in Asia seems to use the LINE messaging app. In less than ten years it has
come to 16 most Asian markets. It was developed in 2011 by South Korea’s Naver
Corporation and was originally intended to compete with another well-known messaging service
offered by the Internet company Kakao. However, shortly after launching their new service, Naver
discovered they wouldn’t be able to cope 17 Kakao’s enormous popularity. The project was
soon abandoned and turned over to the company’s Japanese division. It was not until Naver Korea
transferred product development to Naver Japan 18 the software became the tremendous
success that it is today.
The first thing the Japanese branch did was to assign the name LINE to the application and
establish the LINE Corporation. It was released to the public in June 2011, and within eighteen
months had over 100 million users. By 2013 it was Japan’s largest social network, and by 2017

Participation in working holiday programs has been on a steady 24 over the past 10-15

followed a similar upward trend. While the USA, Canada, and Australia are the most popular

investigation will lead you to a much more 26 catalog.

In 1984, the African nation of Ethiopia was suffering from a terrible famine. Thousands of
people were starving, and images of the disaster victims were shown on television channels
around the world. 31 They recorded the song, “Do They Know It’s Christmas,” raising both
awareness and money for the crisis. The leader of these musicians, Bob Geldof, still wished to do
more, so he began planning Live Aid, which was to become the largest televised concert in
entertainment history.
32 His idea was to have a full-day concert in England followed by another in America.
He booked Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Then he had to
organize live TV broadcasts on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, he needed the most
popular bands to agree to perform. This proved to be a huge headache. 33 Still, Geldof
pushed on.
On July 13, 1985, over 70,000 fans packed Wembley Stadium. 34 Two hours later, at
9:00 a.m. in Philadelphia, the US show began with over 100,000 rock and roll fans crowded into
JFK Stadium. Over 30 US-based bands appeared on the show.
In the end, Live Aid raised more than $127 million for famine relief. More importantly, it
educated music fans in wealthy nations about a deadly crisis on the other side of the world. This,
perhaps, was Live Aid’s most valuable accomplishment.
(A) Geldof began his preparations for this enormous event.
(B) Bands would commit to perform and then weeks later cancel their promised appearance.
(C) The concert started at noon with a total of over 20 British-based acts performing.
(D) In England, a group of musicians decided to try and provide much-needed assistance.

Genealogy—the study of family history—has become increasingly popular in recent years.
People want to know who they are and where they come from by learning more about their
ancestors. To meet this growing demand, many high-tech companies now offer DNA analysis
services. One of the most popular is 23andMe, founded in Sunnyvale, California in 2006.
According to the company’s website, 23andMe offers three distinct products, each with its
own price and each offering different types of information. The first, called Ancestry and Traits, is
the most affordable at $99. This service provides 80 different reports on the client’s ancestors and
family tree. The central feature is a detailed analysis of one’s ancestors, accurate to 0.1%. For

example, it will show what percentage of your DNA can be traced to which region of Italy or
Germany or Eastern Europe. As for traits, it reveals if you are likely to be sensitive to the sun or
which smells or sounds you may prefer. The second product, Health and Ancestry, is double the
price. It includes the same 80 reports as the first product but includes an additional 70 new
analyses as well. The focus here is on analyzing the DNA data to discover which type of illnesses
you are likely to develop in the future. Reports also expose whether the client is a carrier of any
diseases that might possibly be passed on to one’s children. The final product is a VIP service that
sells for $499. This product offers reports for two separate individuals, more in-depth analysis,
and fast priority service.
Making use of 23andMe’s services is quite straightforward. The first step in the procedures
is completing the online registration and selecting your desired product. A service kit will arrive
shortly afterward in the mail. You must provide a sample of your DNA by spitting in a tube and
returning it to the company. Within 3–5 weeks you will be able to access your reports through the
website. Those interested in family history and curious about possible health situations will find
the service helpful.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
(A) To sell a product.
(B) To introduce the history of a company.
(C) To argue the importance of genealogy.
(D) To provide an overview of a company’s products.
36. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) 23andMe’s business is not as good as before.
(B) Health and Ancestry provides 150 reports for about $200.
(C) Information about a client’s ancestors is neither detailed nor accurate.

company.
37. Which of the following best expresses the writer’s opinion of the company and its products?
(A) Not everyone will find its products to be useful.
(B) The company’s products and services are overpriced.

第 39 至 42 題為題組
Have you ever called Apple’s customer service department about a problem with your iPhone
or amazon.com with a question about an order you are waiting for? Have you thought about who
you are talking with on the other end of the phone? The speaker probably has strong English skills
but doesn’t sound quite like a native speaker. Chances are you are not conversing with someone in
a basement office at Apple headquarters or an amazon service center, but rather with a
representative in one of the hundred call centers located in different areas around the world.
The two countries with the highest concentration of call centers are India and the Philippines.
The two reasons that make these locations so attractive are a large pool of university graduates
who are fluent in English and a salary scale much lower than that in the developed world. For
example, the 700,000 call center workers in India earn an average salary of US$300 per month,
while the one million workers in the Philippines make about $700. Most call center workers are
employed by companies from the US, UK, the Australia, and New Zealand, and these salaries are
much less than workers in host companies would demand.
Call centers perform two primary functions. The first is handling customer complaints and
inquiries, such as the Apple or amazon customers mentioned above. The second is conducting
telemarketing or market research campaigns. This involves calling people in these developed
countries to find out their feelings about the products offered by these western companies.
In recent years, there have been growing complaints against the treatment of workers at these
call centers. In addition to the low pay offered by the host companies, employee burnout has also
become an issue. Typical workers—university graduates, under 30, unmarried—are usually
required to work long hours without breaks. They are often required to work all night long as this
corresponds with the time most customers in the west are seeking assistance. These overworked,
underpaid employees help to keep prices lower on all kinds of products for western consumers.
39. What does this passage mainly discuss?
(A) How to get a job in a call center.
(B) General information about the call center industry.
(C) Salaries offered by companies to their call center employees.
(D) Different kinds of customer complaints that call center workers must handle.
40. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) India and the Philippines both have high unemployment rates.
(B) Call centers are usually located in the basement of a company’s headquarters.
(C) Locating these call centers abroad is one way of keeping consumer prices low.
(D) Most call center employees work for companies from India and the Philippines.
41. In which paragraph might you read about common health problems of call center workers?
(A) 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (D) 4.

42. According to the passage, which of the following would likely be hired to work in a call
center?
(A) A young mother hoping to support her young family.
(B) A young, recent graduate from an Indian business college.
(C) A retired Philippine worker who is willing to work for a low salary.
(D) A middle-aged high school graduate who has recently become unemployed.

第 43 至 46 題為題組
If you ask anyone what creature they despise most on the face of the earth, I predict 90% will
have the same response: mosquitoes. And why not? There are a lot to hate. They are the single
most deadly insect on earth, killing or infecting hundreds of thousands of people every year. Their
bites also spread disease to livestock and pets. And at the very least, they are a major annoyance
to all, interrupting sleep, picnics, and all kinds of outdoor activities. The world would surely be a
better place if they went out of existence. Or would it?
Mosquitoes have inhabited the earth for more than 200 million years, so they must have
served some purpose. And, in fact, they have. First, they are an essential part of the ecological
food chain. While female mosquitoes feed on the blood of humans—among other
animals—mosquitoes themselves are the preferred food of birds, bats, and spiders. Fish devour
thousands of these winged menaces every day. Once consumed, they are then re-released as
nitrogen-rich waste into the environment. Remove them from the ecosystem and adverse effects
are sure to follow.
They also offer other benefits to the world. While the females are out dining on blood, males
feed on nectar from plants and flowers. As they do so, they act as pollinators that help regional
plants to thrive. Without their efforts, many plants which offer cover and shelter to a variety of
animals and insects would struggle to survive. Again, a mosquito-less world would perhaps
present us with a very different and unfamiliar landscape.
Another area of potential assistance is in the field of medical research. Scientists are
currently investigating the use of mosquito saliva as a possible treatment in the fight against heart
disease, the No. 1 killer of humans worldwide. This would represent a tremendous—and slightly
ironic—twist if one of the world’s great killers could become one of the world’s great saviors.
43. Which of the following would make the best title for the passage?
(A) The Life Cycle of the Mosquito
(B) A Necessary Bother
(C) Learning to Love the Mosquito
(D) Understanding the Dangers of Mosquitoes

44. According to the passage, which of the following would NOT be negatively affected if
mosquitoes were eliminated from the world?
(A) Small animals that hide in plants.
(B) Small animals that feed on mosquitoes.
(C) Family pets and farm animals.
(D) Different kinds of plant life.
45. Which of the following best expresses the writer’s feelings toward mosquitoes?
(A) 200 million years is long enough for the world to tolerate mosquitoes.
(B) The positive benefits that mosquitoes provide for the ecosystem outweigh the negatives.
(C) Medical science is crazy to think that mosquitoes could offer a cure for heart disease.
(D) We need to have a balanced view of the positive and negative effects brought about by
mosquitoes.
46. What does adverse mean in the second paragraph?
(A) Harmful. (B) Helpful. (C) Healthy. (D) Slight.

As cultural animals, we humans often think and behave in a cultural way. Religions, as part
of culture, indeed uphold certain ideals and values. Believers make these ideals and values part of
their lives and develop their own particular beliefs and lifestyles. The following are two persons
with different religions.
Lisa, a 45‐year‐old American
I’m a Buddhist and practice meditation every day, in order to improve myself by
developing the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. We Buddhists do not
worship any gods or God, but we believe in Karma and reincarnation, which are
interconnected. Karma represents the most important law in the Universe. It says that
a chain of suffering is caused by one’s own actions. Therefore, if you cause suffering
to other creatures, you will suffer too, either in this lifetime or the next. This chain,
however, can be broken if we meditate and do good deeds. Ending suffering in this
way also helps us to achieve rebirth.
Omar, a 32‐year‐old Iranian
As a devout Muslim, I have to repeat specific prayers based on verses from our
holy book, the Quran, five times a day. This is compulsory, but the precise timing
varies depending on the worshiper’s circumstances. I always say these holy prayers

while facing in the direction of Mecca, our holy city. On Fridays, we Muslims enjoy
gathering in a large mosque to pray and study. I truly believe that there is only one
almighty God who we call Allah. He is the creator of the universe and the source of all
good and all evil. Everything that happens is Allah’s will. He is a powerful and strict
judge, but also merciful to followers who do good and show religious devotion. We
are all His servants.

(A) Religions and cultures are always closely related.
(B) Religions shape the daily lives and spiritual beliefs of individuals.
